Life has been a little hectic and I haven't spent as much time here as I normally do or would like to.

I do need your thoughts on a few outfits though, please.

#1 - GAP curvy jeans, black and cream top from last year, yellow belt, black ballet flats. More or less happy with this. What do you think?

#2 - I always like these wide leg white pants on other people, but never so much on myself. What am I doing wrong?

#3 - Tube skirt worn yesterday. Pretty happy with this outfit, but please tell me if it needs improvement.

#4 - What I'm wearing today. This dress is a few years old and I am not sure it is still current. Should I let it go? Better with or without the denim vest?

I think all four are fabulous MOTG outfits. #1 is my favorite!

All of these look great - esp. love #1 and I think the dress to my surprise, I like better with the vest for the added blue color.

Hi Sanet - gosh I think we have bypassed Spring and gone straight into summer! I love all of them but I am wondering if the jeans in #1 are just a teensy bit long? I love #3!!!!

I love your style, especially your prints. Have you tried the top from #1 with the white trousers? I think the pants would work better with a more open neckline and broader shoulder. The jean jacket may be too streamlined and buttoned-up for the pants.

You're on a roll!

Esp. love the pop of yellow in the first outfit, but #3 is my fave. I'm crushing on the tube skirts, of course, but the sandals and shirts... and hair! So awesome.

3 is perfect! Not sure of the fit of the pants in 1 and 2, but I like the idea of them.

Gorgeous outfits. I think that white pants always look better in motion. They look breezy and cool to me. I think the sun dress is great--maybe a slight preference sans vest. Love 1 and 3!

Loving #1, particularly with the jacket, and three with the fab skirt and sandals, but all of these are great looks.

As for the wide legs, I'm a definite fan, but I know the difficulties of styling them. I love a balance of structure to drapey-ness, but the hard lines of the denim seem to fight the softness of the pants. Maybe a cardi as a topper, or a lighter jacket? I'm being picky --- it's good as is.

You look great! The yellow belt in #1 is a great touch. I prefer the sundress with the vest.

I love the yellow belt in #1 and the sandals in #3. I think the pants in #2 aren't flowy enough? Not sure - it's a little hard to tell in the photograph since those wide-leg type pants sometimes look better in motion. I prefer the dress with the vest.

You look great. #1 and #3 are my favorites and although the dress in #4 is fine I don't think it is up to the level of the other things. I like it best with the vest.

Thank you everyone. I will respond in a bit more detail later as we are driving down to the coast today. 674km.

All great!
Would the wide pant benefit from a waist-defining belt perhaps?

I like them all! Maybe the jeans are a smidge long but you have the option of a higher shoe if you wish.

I like them all especially 1 (but think the jeans are a bit too long for the flats). I think you hit it right with the tube skirt (especially with the metallic ankle strap) and I like the dress with the denim vest - I think booties would make it more modern as well.

I have battled to get the jeans length right, from the start. I had it shorter, then made it a bit longer again. Will try again.

I will try the white pants with different tops and post more pictures. It cannot take a belt though.

I think the dress and another similar one in my cupboard must go. I quite like this dress, but will need wider shoulder bands:

Thanks again for all your comments and suggestions.

Question on the dress-can it take a belt? You might be able to buy some more time with it if you add the yellow belt (or pink?)

Sanet, you are gorgeous! Love your hair, it really suits you:) #1, 2 & 3 are lovely outfits.
With #2, I would really like to see the tee untucked, with the hem falling below the hem of the jacket.
#3 is fabulous! I think it is perfect
#4 I would probably pass on. It's a sweet summer dress but just isn't the same calibre of your other outfits

Well, I am biased in favour of #3 since I wore a version of it half the spring and summer!

Also love 1 and 2. Pop of yellow in one is so much fun.

It strikes me that the print of the top in #1 is like a more sopisticated version of the print in the dress in #4. I far prefer the top, somehow -- its simplicity sings on you, whereas the dress overwhelms a little. I would pass on it. It might just be body language, but it doesn't seem as fab as your other outfits.

I love your top in 1! I think these are good looks, but I agree with Suz on the dress.
